Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! Chapter 372: 1+1>2

Chapter 372: 1+1>2

Zhao Feixuan and Wu Haibo looked at each other, and they could see the delight in each other’s eyes.

Meng Chao did not seem to be pretending. They did not expect that he would be so against the ideals of the Colonization Party.

“Meng Chao, I didn’t expect that when so many youngsters have become arrogant because we gained full victory at the northern frontlines, you would be able to remain so calm. You’re truly the only one with a clear head when everyone else is deceived!” Zhao Feixuan slapped his thigh. “I knew that I didn’t make a wrong judgement of your character. You’re indeed not part of the Colonization Party. You’re a real member of the Home Party!”

Meng Chao thought. ‘Of course I’m not part of the Colonization Party.’

In his previous life, Dragon City suffered a devastating loss during the Monster War. They had to rely on the badly damaged s.p.a.ce in Monster Mountain Range and the depleted resources, which were no longer enough and could not sustain the human civilization.

The survivors were forced to exhaust all their resources to build the army and keep it alive as the battles continued without end.

Even though they had managed to conquer a few places during the first few years they expanded outwards and defeated other armies effortlessly, thereby causing their name as the Extraordinary Disaster to spread through the Other World, they also ended up attracting a lot of enemies and catching the attention of a lot of powerful ent.i.ties as strong as the deities themselves.

Their heroic advance and victory at that time were just them filling their hungry stomachs with poison, so it was difficult for them to escape destruction.

Besides, the consequences of pouring all of their resources into the military was militarizing the entire society. Even Meng Chao and most of the Dragon Citizens ended up turning into frenzied battle machines.

After Meng Chao returned to the past, he did not want to walk down that stupid path again. Even if they had to conquer the Other World, he would definitely find a smarter way to do it.

But though he did not like the Colonization Party, it did not mean that he was part of the Home Party.

Wu Haibo’s words during the movie screening hadn’t come out of nowhere. They had to have gained a crucial breakthrough in Project 101 or deciphered part of the mystery behind their transmigration.

But in his previous life, Project 101 ran into an accident and a large number of transmigration experts died. Because of it, Project 101 collapsed. Even when the apocalypse arrived, the transmigrators were unable to see that sacred patch of blue from their home planet.

Home Party, which was built on the basis that controllable transmigration could be developed, also turned into a fantasy. Soon, it disappeared without a trace.

Meng Chao suddenly thought about something. Could his return to the past change the ending of Project 101?

When he thought about it in depth, he found it plausible.

First of all, they won the northern offense, which allowed Dragon City to harvest ten times the resources than what they had in his previous life. Some of those resources definitely went into Project 101 through various channels. This might have increased the speed of development for controllable transmigration.

Second, since he knew that something would happen to Project 101, he could remind Wu Haibo to be careful.

Failing once or twice or even ten or one hundred times in the research was fine.

As long as the researchers were fine, sooner or later, they would definitely be able to open the dimensional tunnel connecting the Other World to Earth.

Perhaps this was the real solution that could save Dragon City.

Unfortunately, in his previous life, Meng Chao was busy taking care of his parents, practicing his harvesting skills, and earning money. He only took a brief glance at the news about the major accident concerning Project 101. He did not pay attention to the specific time and process.

Besides, since the b.u.t.terfly had already flapped its wings, the storm it caused had already completely changed a lot of details. Meng Chao could not predict just when and how Project 101 would encounter a major accident again.

“Meng Chao, since we have the same ideals, would you like to join Blue Home?” Zhao Feixuan asked sincerely. “Of course, we know very well that you have a unique status. There are already more than one hundred thousand members in the Broken Star Club. As the club leader, it’s impossible for you to be a normal member of another organization.

“Blue Home is relatively lax. Most of the lovers of Earth’s culture just need to register in the club. We have a twelve-member committee, and I suppose you can say that the members in the committee are pretty fixed. Mr. Wu and I are both committee members. If you’re willing to join, you would be the thirteenth committee member in Blue Home and would be able to join the core matters and plans of Blue Home. What do you think?”

Wu Haibo did not stay quiet, either. “I won’t hide from you, Meng Chao. We have already gained a substantial breakthrough in controllable transmigration. Before long, we will be able to hear the voices from our home planet and return to the embrace of Earth’s civilization.

“But Dragon City has been wandering in the Other World for nearly sixty years. Our bodies, minds, abilities, societal customs, morals, laws, societal structures, and martial power are very different from everything on our home planet.

“Many of the people in our society are doubtful that Dragon City will be able to blend perfectly into our home planet. They believe that it would be better for us to gain a firm foothold in the Other World before we contact our home planet.

“A lot of the frenzied supporters of the Colonization Party believe that with Dragon City’s superior technology, steel army, and the strength of our best fighters, we can suppress all of the Other World. When we have completely absorbed the planet, we can then return to Earth in a grand manner. It would not be too late by then.

“The Home Party needs to use various channels to spread our voice.

“The Broken Star Club has more than one hundred thousand members, and that’s undoubtedly a very good channel. We can make more citizens know of our ideals and learn that we’re not cowards who are afraid of our enemies. Instead, we’re sincerely thinking of the future of human civilization and every human being.

“Of course, Blue Home can also provide help to the Broken Star Club. Based on what I know, the members of the Broken Star Club mostly occupy the gra.s.sroot positions of various industries. There are also no politicians in the Survival Committee who can speak for all of you, right?

“Even though Blue Home isn’t as powerful and rich as the nine great mega corporations and can’t do whatever we want, there are still quite a lot of politicians in the Survival Committee who support us. If both of our organizations worked together, we would definitely be able to produce a 1+1>2 effect. With our will, we could build the path leading to Dragon City’s future!”

His last sentence tempted Meng Chao.

Honestly, if he had not seen the end of Project 101 and the Home party in his previous life and did not have the proof and information from the abnormal beast research department that there was a high possibility that there was an incredibly cunning abnormal beast lurking in Blue Home, he would not be averse to joining Blue Home as a committee member and facilitating a deeper cooperation between the Broken Star Club and Blue Home.

Now, it was not that simple.

He did not give them a firm answer. He just told them that this was a major matter and he needed to think about it. He also needed to talk to the directors of the Broken Star Club.

While he thought about it, if he could join the core activities of Blue Home as an observer and understand the ideals of the Home Party further, that would be for the best.

Of course, in exchange, the Broken Star Club would also invite some of the transmigration experts and core members of Blue Home to host some talks, movie screenings, or other such activities so that they could spread the Home Party’s ideals, but whether or not the broken-star superhumans believed in them or supported them would be up to them.

In any case, there were a lot of Broken Star Club members who had already joined Blue Home. If they wanted to speak their mind freely about the subject, who was Meng Chao to stop them?

Zhao Feixuan and Wu Haibo had never hoped that Meng Chao would agree to them immediately.

To them, it was already good enough that Meng Chao was willing to observe Blue Home. After all, he was the club leader of the Broken Star Club.

Everyone was happy during the meal.

Over the course of the next few days, even though Zhao Feixuan did not get a concrete answer from Meng Chao, he invited Meng Chao to join a few high-profile internal activities and introduced a few of the committee members to him.

Aside from hunters who were very famous because of their deeds in the wild, ace lecturers in famous schools, and business people from new businesses, Meng Chao also got to know two politicians from the Survival Committee. Through them, he got to learn that the Survival Committee had intense debates about the future development of Dragon City. Not all politicians were optimistic about the idea that they could defeat all armies with their own army.

After a.n.a.lyzing the information he obtained from these events, Meng Chao noticed that the scale of Blue Home’s organization far surpa.s.sed what he estimated. The statuses of the members and their demands were relatively complicated as well.

The members of Blue Home could be generally divided into a couple groups.

The largest group was naturally composed of normal people. Humans were never a race that loved war.

This was especially so for normal people, who had not awakened to superpowers. Compared to endless fights, a peaceful life with simple food was what they wanted.

Over the past few decades, Dragon Citizens had been fighting nonstop against monster invasions to defend their home. Even women and children could a.s.semble guns and kill monsters without batting an eyelid.

But this did not mean that everyone loved the idea of living such a life forever.

After the Monster War ended, many normal citizens would be unwilling to start another war immediately, and to boot, this would be a war that would be larger, more devastating, and no one knew if they would win it.

“Even if they really want to colonize the Other World, they should at least let us catch our breath, right? Dragon City has been at war for more than half a century. No one wants to fight for another half a century!”

This was the thought among a lot of normal citizens.

They were the natural supporters of the Home Party.

The next group was composed of middle-range and low-end superhumans like broken-star superhumans. Most of them were not part of cultivation families or mega corporations.

Countless heroes had popped up in Dragon City during the dark and b.l.o.o.d.y era fifty years ago.

It was because of these heroes who were the first to awaken to superpowers and led the crowd that Dragon Citizens could fight and defend their civilization.

Among them, nine absurdly strong heroes built nine great gangs. They warded off the zombie and monster invasions and ensured the safety of normal citizens. They also rebuilt a fragile order in their tiny lairs.

Then, through development that caused a s...o...b..ll effect, they turned their gangs into businesses, and their businesses then evolved into financial corporations.

The leaders of the financial corporations were all cultivation families who married each other and had solid foundations in society.

They were once the protectors of Dragon City, and all the citizens remembered their contributions.

However, as the nine great mega corporations continued growing and the scale of the cultivation families grew larger, they began reaping way too much profit. Slowly, they became in control of the economic lifeline, the crucial markets, and important positions in Dragon City, which blocked off the path for the superhumans who appeared after them. They could not rise up the ranks at atll. This was their reality.

At the same time towering trees protected other plants from the storm, they blocked off the sun, so other plants could not grow into towering trees. This was perhaps an eternal conflict in nature.
